Strigoi is a vampire movie that defies categorization.
Shedding a fantastic light on a post-communist Romanian village, the film introduces us to an ancient myth: Strigoi, the
belief that a person can rise again after death to seek justice if they've been wronged, their appetites intensified by their
hunger for blood.
There are no beautiful, angst-ridden, teen vampires in this film. Instead, shot on location in the heart of real Dracula
country,
Strigoi tears away the glosssy veneer of current Hollywood reimaginings of the vampire myth, and reintroduces
us to the dark essence of the original undead legend. It is a must-see film for any true vampire fan.
